DO NOT DISTURB THE SANE MAN | An AI Short Film

Description: Bardia Shahrestani & Frederick Pelletier-Goulet (@Ciqax) offer a surreal, existential horror twist on a classic tale in “DO NOT DISTURB THE SANE MAN.” Set against a late ’90s aesthetic and dedicated to David Lynch’s memory, the project follows a father searching for his missing daughter, Alice, at the enigmatic Hotel Mirabilis—a place where reality bends and death loses meaning. Created using various AI tools including AnimateDiff, MidJourney, LoRAs on Civitai, and ElevenLabs for voiceovers, this pilot episode teases an interactive visual novel/game set for a full release in 2025.
